Hardware photos that pass a rubric, not a beauty contest
Practical framing guidance so field teams stop guessing what “good enough” means.

Photo evidence should answer a question: identifier visible, damage documented, context shown. The rubric should illustrate acceptable lighting and unacceptable glare with side-by-side examples from your own environment when possible.
Train receivers to take two shots: a wide context frame and a close identifier frame. Store them with matching prefixes so reviewers pair them quickly.
If a shot fails the rubric, reject it with a specific reason tied to a rubric row. Generic rejections teach nothing and slow the floor.
